Dusty Rose Vintage: Pretty in Pink

We were decked out in lovely pale pink confections from different eras.

As you may have seen by now on other blogs such as Dusty Rose Vintage, Idee_geniale, etc.--these dresses are very reminiscent of the movie Pretty in Pink.

(Although, this is a fave movie of mine, I do have to admit I giggle everytime I see the scene of Andie attempting to draw up her prom dress--in this particular scene, they don't even show her face. So one would think that they could hire a stand-in for her-somebody that actually had illustration skills. But no, pretty certain they used Molly Ringwald's lackluster drawing abilities because that is by far the worst fashion sketch I've ever seen!)

And how funny is it that a little flamingo friend found his way into Mel's hair? He's so very necessary for such a photoshoot of course.

I had the pleasure of wearing a lovely pastel pink 1960's dress.

It has these tiny clear stone settings on the buttons adding just the right does of glitz to an otherwise beautifully simplistic silhouette.

(Now I admit, I do this dress no justice because it is not fit to me. If one had the womanly hips so required to fill out the bottom skirt portion, I imagine this dress would be a dream fit. It's so perfectly lady-like; it would show your assets while still being classy.)
